Two days after NVIDIA Tegra X1’s official launch, Audi confirmed today that it will use the new mobile superchip in developing its future automotive self-piloting capabilities. Speaking to a packed crowd in its gleaming white, futuristic booth at the Consumer Electronics Show, Audi execs said they’ll use Tegra X1 to build on their current work with its predecessor, Tegra K1, to supply the intelligence needed to help achieve the dream of a self-driven car. Key to their enthusiasm is Tegra X1’s machine learning capabilities, which enable the car to teach itself based on its ability to sense, recognize and classify objects on the road.
